Geeked-Out: Bronze Samus Statue

by Dylan Duarte on June 20, 2009 at 1:22 pm

Bronze Samus Aran

Never underestimate a video game fan with some sort of artistic ability. This statue comes from the Deviant Art page of red3138. Check out his gallery to see his other work, which includes an equally awesome Samus Aran action figure.

E309: Trailer for Metroid: Other M

by Demi Adejuyigbe on June 2, 2009 at 12:49 pm

God, I love me some Metroid. Sure, I wasn’t a big fan of Metroid Prime 3, but I’ve always wished that Nintendo would add another Metroid game to the Wii lineup- and today they did with the announcement of Metroid: Other M.

The trailer for the game is above, and it looks great. Even though it’s clearly CG, I love the introduction, which gives a bit of a backstory to the game. But I don’t want to ruin it, so click above and enjoy the masterpiece that is Metroid: Other M.

Top 10 Nicest Asses in Videogames – #6

by Dan Landis on December 8, 2008 at 11:50 pm

We continue our countdown today with another fairly famous ass in the world of videogames. Any ideas? Well, it wouldn’t surprise me if you didn’t instantly recognize it as the girl in question usually covers it up. Not here, though. Read on to see our number 6 pick, but remember: some content may be considered ‘Not Safe For Work’. Read more…

When it comes to bling bling, Hollywood has long relied on the services of big names such as Jacob the Jeweler. Soon, the gaming world may call on a jeweler of their own.

Third Project Juno has hand-crafted a slew of gaming related jewelry pretty enough to make Jay-Z holla-at-ya-gameboy! See what I did there?

While the Triforce pendant (14 karat yellow gold) is currently listed as one of a kind, TPJ states that anyone interested in having one made would be looking at around $2,000 in labor and materials. The Metriod pendant (sterling silver) is also one-of-a-kind.

If you like what you see (we did), start saving up your paperboy money and give this geeked-out jewler a reason to make more.

Check out more of TPJ’s amazing gaming jewelry at thirdproject.net.

by Adam Montgomery on January 2, 2008 at 11:26 am

Their latest design is an excellent Metroid themed masterwork, which cannot fail to bring forth nostalgic feelings for the gamers able to recall the era of gaming dominated by Nintendo’s NES.
